Default How to fit lead flashing into brickwork?

This might work with a straight run, but I'd say it near impossible with
stepped flashing. The wedges should be driven in far enough for the mortar
to cover anyway.

I'd recommend that when starting doing this sort of work you fashion up
the entire length on the workbench or at least on the ground, as trying to
do it in situ given that this is normally a roof isn't ideal - at least
for the likes of me.
